gon, $18,630.90, the fourth quarter
state tax payment from Coos county,
which was due by next Monday. Coos
county tias met its payments to' the
state as they came due in 1934, but
not as some counties were able to
do, pay the last three quarters when
the second quarter came due.
The state associations of county
treasurers and county Clerks, at their
sessions in Portland this month,
went on record as favoring the pay-
ment of only that much of the state
tax and elementary school tax as is
paid in cash to the county tax collec
tor. Coos county’s tax collection this
year was slightly over 40 per cent—
both cash and warrants—and if the
legislature should enact such a lgw
as the county officers recommended,
this county, on the basis this year,
would have paid around 40 per cent
of its state and elementary school
tax.
